1960's pattern giveaway.

To celebrate reaching 100 followers I want to do a little give away. I have not yet gotten around to sewing this pattern yet, and with the current to-do list I have set for myself, it seems this beautiful pattern won't be sewn anytime soon! Such a shame for it to be sitting on my shelf unloved... I want to give it a new home!



Here is a little bit about the pattern:

"Great 60s half size suit pattern! Vintage early 60s, Simplicity 5126, size 12 1/2, suit, scraf and blouse pattern.

Bust 33"
Waist 27"
Hip 37"

Misses' Suit, Scraf and Blouse in Half-Sizes: Blouse with high round neckline, short set-in sleeves, has center back button closing, is dart fitted. Slim skirt dart fitted at waistline has left side zipper closing and pleat at bottom of center back seam. Collarless jacket has rounded neckline and lower edges, set-in below elbow length sleeves, shoulder darts, patch pockets. V. 1 has contrasting braid trim. V. 2 has self fabric scraf, top-stitched trim. Jacket is lined.

Pattern is complete and in good, UNCUT, factory fold, condition. Envelope is in good vintage condition, does have a little yellowing inside and small stain at lower front."



The details:
* This giveaway is open to anyone, simply leave one comment in this post.
* If you're a follower of my blog and listed in the 'google friend connect' to the right of my page, then you're entitled to two entries (so make two please).
* Please include either a contact email address or link to your blog so I can find you if you win.
* I'm happy to post this pattern anywhere in the world.
* Giveaway closes on Sunday 27th March at 8pm Sydney, Australia time (GMT +11).
* Winner will be drawn by online random number generator on www.random.org.

Good luck!
